Sammy Hajhamid is a security researcher known for developing the first jailbreak for the Nintendo Switch 2. Hitechreports covers his work on the exploit and its impact on homebrew development for the console.
Summarised from Hitechreports’s coverage.
A newly released Nintendo Switch 2 jailbreak has let hackers install an open-source YouTube client the console never officially supported, and one developer claims an untethered version of the exploit is already working.
Developer Sammy Hajhamid has reportedly moved the Nintendo Switch 2's ns2jb jailbreak into WebKit, letting it run through the console's limited web access instead of a now-removed SmileBASIC 4 exploit, according to Discord messages picked up by Notebookcheck.
Nintendo Switch 2 users report SmileBASIC 4 vanishing from eShop listings in North America, Europe and Japan, a day after a software-only jailbreak exploit led to demonstrations of a homebrew launcher and Vulkan graphics support.
